In my oppinion, and being the only good barrel material I've used, CPVC is the next best for its great quality, and great availibility.
Doing just simple mods to a NF and adding 3 inches of CPVC significantly make it better. Mine gets about 70-90 feet.
Also, Home Depot might not have CPVC (but I heard it often does, but my doesn't), but Lowe's does arround here, if HD doesn't have it.
By the way, CPVC is a good investment because you don't need a metal saw to make pieces, and you can use it on most modern guns.
I say, you being new, buy CPVC, buy FBR, buy a glue gun (all the before stuff can be found at HD) buy some fishing weights (Wal*Mart) and an AT2K pack (Target) and you are set. It's a lot less stuff than it sounds. 5 Feet of CPVC is like 5 dollars. FBR, Glue Gun, fishing weights, and everything else used to make your own darts (which performance is much better than stock darts) is like 7 dollars. An AT2K pack gives you two guns for ten bucks. When an AT2K is modded with CPVC, you will get 100 feet (and more with a great mod). It is an insanely easy modification anyway. I suggest two AT2K packs. Quad barrel 3, single one(for some variety and experience) and with so many high-powered guns, your friends will want to get into Nerfing.
Well, I hope this covers everything. Wow, this is becoming my officoal post to all newb topics!

I can't believe that everyone beat me to it. Thats what I get for a long post.
Noticed the last sentence sounded offensive to newbs, I meant people who say in a dignified way "I'm new, what should I do."

I get K&S brand brass at my local ACE hardware store. I can take pictures.You will not find quality brass at a hardware store. Check a hobbies shop that has RC car and train stuffs.
SOME stores don't carry good brass, I've found that most ACE hardwares I've been to stock brass, you just have to look around. And ask the old guys, they seem to know EVERYTHING. So if there's an ACE around you, try there.
If that doesn't work, I'd follow suggestions and use cpvc or a crayola barrel.

My dad picked mine up for me since it was so cheap, and I never asked the price. I was guessing.Davis, $5 for cpvc is a rip off, I got ten feet for $2.

Rule of thumb: Try Ace if you have one nearby, then start calling local hobby shops. The hobby shops will generally know what you're talking about and give you accurate info over the phone. Most Ace employees won't even realize they carry the stuff so you have to search around yourself.
